Better late than never...

Better late than never…

That’s true, isn’t it? Today is my day to post and I’m just now thinking about it. Sorry. But I have a good excuse, besides senility. I broke my blasted toe. And I really didn’t want to start 2008 this way. It’s better today not so purple and swollen. I’m still trying to get a shoe on without making faces.

That’s what I get for trying to take the ham out of the freezer to thaw for New Year’s Day. I should have waited for my husband, but oh no, I had to do it just then. It wasn’t on the top shelf, but the next, and as soon as I tried to lift it out, it came sliding out of there like a greased pig and land on my foot. I saw stars and said a few words I’d only heard other people say.

The thing thawed on the utility room floor until my husband got home. And, yes, we had the blasted ham for New Year’s Day dinner. Somehow I didn’t enjoy it as much as in other years.

Kara,I know! The doctor gave me these strong pain pills and I had to stop taking them. I can't write when I'm on those things. I just want to sleep. And I have to write. I keep telling myself that, and I'm sure my editor appreciates the thought.

Sad to say I did lose the nail but it stayed on for a long while (although the color was pretty ugly). I'm thinking it's more painful if it falls off right away because there's no protection for when you drop something else on it lol.

Catslady,Oh my gosh! That is what's going to happen. It's going to turn black as it grows out. The nail is kind of numb and I can't stand for anything to touch it. Oh, well. At least I can still write.Linda
